[ovs-dev] Pass options to systemd openvswitch.service

Hey Flavio,

We encountered this issue recently:

The /etc/init.d/openvswitch script can take options like --save-flows=
which will save and restore all OpenFlow flows during restart...

However, this does not work on RHEL 7.  Since my understanding is
that all /etc/init.d/openvswitch command will be ignored and the
corresponding systemd service will be run...  And systemctl does not
take options...

Do you know if there is any workaround?

Thanks,
Alex Wang,
